Real Madrid is now in Los Angeles.
The Spanish giants are in town to take on the LA Galaxy in the Herbalife World Football Challenge this Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the first of three matches the team will play on U.S. soil as part of their preseason.
Upon their arrival in L.A. on Monday evening, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos and the rest of the star-studded Real Madrid squad boarded a bus and headed to their hotel.
Speaking to RealMadrid.com on his expectations for this preseason tour, Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho said, "We’re here to work, improve and face other teams. I don’t want to win a preseason match 15-0. I want them all to be difficult. Los Angeles Galaxy are a complicated opponent because they’ve already played 14 or 16 league games this season."
